members Of the profession, having re-
lieved thousands where other eminent
physicians have failed. Those suffer
ing who believe in the old adage 'tprac-
tice makes the man" should not fail to
consult him and obtain relief. His
rooms are on the ground floor at the
Hotel Whitley.

The officers of the city have been
watching for few days an old, brown
looking woman, who has been going
about from house to house, begging.
She acted 80 strangely that people were
Sfraid Of her and reported her actions
20 the police. Thursday morning the
ity marshal arrested her and took her
to the court house. She refused to tell
who she was and where she was from,
so the officers took her into the sher-
IFS rooms, and with the help of Mrs.
white searched her clothing. Among
the articles found on her person were
the following: A bunch of house keys,
string with Santa Fe switch key, a
valise key and two button hooks at
taehed; three small phials, one empty
and two with some medicine in. one
quart whisky flask. empty; mans
undershirt, four rabbit legs and feet,
one bird claw tied to q brass rosette, a
red smOking-cap, several buttons, a
pair Of scissors, five dollars and ninety
cents in money, two pamphlets, and
other articles too numerous to mention.
She stoutly protested against being
searched and everything taken away
from her was by force. These articles
were slowed away in her dress, bosom,
shoes, secret pockets, and other places
on her person. She says she has no
friends and will not tell where she
came from. About All that she would
tell the oficers was that this place was
Emporia. The large bottle was
wrapped in q Topeka Capitol of Au-
gust 26, but that she sayz she picked
up here. She win be- held till some
thing more can be learned OF her char
acter and defamation. Her actions
would indicate mid form of insanity,
and size is an adept at secreting things
in DER clothing.

FISCHER, one of the condemned an
archists, in his letter to Gov. Oglesby,
refusing any Communication of the death
sentence except liberty, says he cannot
ask or accept mercy without lowering
himself in his self-estimation. Well,
this can be easily rectihed, as the sher-
iff can possibly lower him few feet by
the aid of a rope, without any use OF
self-estimation whatever.

Plunged Into the Water,

A railroad accident occurred on the Iron
Mountain railway near Victoria. Mo-, the
other night, and was occasioned by the
giving way under the train of the trestle
which crosses JOACHIM creek at that point.
The train was the Texas express, and con-
sisted OF baggage, express and mail cars,
q smoker, two pes enger caches and four
sleepers, carrying about 10 passengers.
A heavy rain had fallen all day and the
creek was much swollen. At Hemitite,
the flr-t station this side of the trestle,
the engineer received orders to run eau
tiously as the rain had been heavy and the
creek was out of its banks.
Engineer Kelley says he ran slowly be-
yond that point and both he and fireman,
VIM. Haich, watched the track very care
fully, AS he approached the trestle kel-
ley observed that the track was entirely
straight and level. showing nothing wrong
and he went on without the slightest fear
or hesits ton. but when his engine reached
about the middle OF the trestle. he felt the
Whole structure sinking beneath him.
In IN instant he opened the valve opera
ting the mir brakes full width and brought
the tr.in to so quick stop that the front
end OF one OF the cars was crushed in by
the sudden shock.
This saved the coaches, but the baggage
mail, express and smoking cars went into
the raging torrent beow, carrying with
them all the men on board. All Of whom
were more or less injured, but none of
them fatally. One passenger in the
smoking car was drowned.
TIE postal can was swept away some
di lance and, as the water rushed through
it from end to end, the mail was literally
washed out and Is now scattered over
miles of territory, or embedded in the mud
of the creek. 1t Is regarded as an almost
total loss, the whole of it being completely
soaked and the addresses of the letters OBJ
liberated.
The postal clerks. McCulloch. Shafer and
Ryan were badly bruised and almost
drowned, and, being stripped for work,
they lost all their clothes, their gold watch
carried away by the flood. The mail is
said to have been the largest ever sent over
the road.
